Kitera LIFT+ Mechanical Pencil – 0.5mm Brass Drafting Pencil

A drafting pencil benefits from knowing where to put its weight. The Kitera LIFT+ Mechanical Pencil puts it towards the business end, using an all-brass front section to create a low centre of gravity that gives your hand reassuring control over the 0.5mm lead.

The substantial 10mm hexagonal barrel provides a secure grip and helps the pencil sit steadily in the hand, while the 4mm guide pipe gives you a clear view of the line for drafting, technical drawing and detailed sketching. At 27g, there’s a pleasing solidity here; this is emphatically not one of those pencils you forget you’re holding.

A lead-hardness indicator built into the knock lets you keep track of the grade currently loaded, while the transition from a rounded upper barrel to the hexagonal lower section gives the LIFT+ its distinctive architectural appearance. Available in Black or White and made in Japan, it’s an unusually handsome bit of kit for anyone who takes a precise line seriously.

Precision in the Details:

• Balanced for Better Control: The brass front section creates a low centre of gravity, keeping useful weight close to the tip for steady, controlled drawing and writing.
• Made for Precise Drafting: A 4mm guide pipe gives you excellent visibility around the 0.5mm lead, particularly useful for technical work and drawing against rulers and templates.
• Comfortably Substantial: The 10mm hexagonal barrel provides a secure, confident grip, while the lead-hardness indicator means you always know what’s loaded without conducting a small graphite investigation.
